So, I have a few waterbugs, mostly the ones that look like skinny roaches and skate across the surface, plus one boatman.
FC: 8
CC: 0
Ph: 8.2
TA: 90-100
CYA: 50-60
Ph was high today so I added 30 oz muriatic to bring that down; before today it had consistently ran around 7.8. Also added some bleach to stay on the high end of my normal range.
CC is consistently 0, only rarely does it come back as 0.5, but I've been reading around here that bugs may indicate algae.
I had about a dozen of the skaters and 1 of the boatmen, netted most of them out yesterday then gave them the underside of my shoe, today saw a couple and did the same.
So, question is, should I be concerned about the presence of algae, considering the reading of 0 for CC yet also given the presence of a few bugs, or should I just keep on keeping on?
Edit: I'm using TF-100 for my test results
